Abstract
⺠The two-step thermal deposition of chromium thin films followed by O2 plasma treatment after the first deposition improved adhesion and cohesion of a film/substrate composite as compared with typical thin film deposition process. ⺠The cohesive failure of the multilayered chromium film influenced by more contact-wear-resistant surface morphology increased from 81 ± 8 mN to 165 ± 10 mN. ⺠Adhesion to the substrate was improved and critical adhesive loads were increased from 198 ± 5 mN to 221 ± 5 mN with less eruption of the film due to multilayer boundaries.
